Default Forced Inductions

Need some feedback about this company. Has anyone purchased from them and if so, how was business with them?

i talked to an engine builder ( for obvious reason's i am not going to name them) about haveing a turbo engine built. i asked them who i could talk to about turbo selection kit / info . before i could even rattle off a name or two he instantly said do not call forced inductions. they have a very bad habbit of takeing your money then wait a year or more before they send your order. then when you get it all the parts are prob not there. just what i was told from a sponsor of this site and numerious other people. however you should check into it yourself ... just givein you the heads up!

Are you asking about Forced Inductions (Jose in AL) or Ohio Forced Inductions that sell turbo kits. I have bought 7-8 turbos from Jose and all but 2 made it to me next day. One took a week longer than it was susposed to but no big deal. One even arrived today. Now I have no personal dealings with OFI but they have 100x pissed off people on here. Do some searching on anybody you are looking to spend this much money with. What are you trying to buy?

I think Jose needs to change the name of his company so he doesn't people confused with OFI.

Maybe the other way around, Forced Inductions was around before OFI.

Placed a couple orders from ForcedInductions.com. First one was my S91 that arrived exactly on time, not a day late. Seems like it took 4 or so days to get here. The second was the 60mm WG and it also showed up on time. I called and talked to them as well as sent them PM's. Great guys to deal with!

Thanks guys for the input. I'm looking for a kit that will provide great hp and torque, not for track action, and will give killer top end action. I may play with it at the track from time to time, but not all the time. Also, it will not effect my everyday drivability, with a stock bottom end LS-6.
